Wonderful refresher of a basic design principle.

This heatmap concept blew my mind, is such a good tool to organize the composition before starting as well

Mind explosion is happening here😅 Your videos are always helpful

just got to the color segment. thank you for blowing my mind. also there is something very satisfying about this 8spoke teal wheel :D

This video is a game-changer for shape design! 🔥👁 The insights and techniques shared are incredibly eye-opening and will definitely transform how I approach design. Thank you for breaking down these concepts so clearly and making such a complex topic accessible. Can't wait to apply these new ideas! 🎨✨

the moment you show that even brush strokes have this applied haha, its the golden ration essentially right? just how the universe works so it must resonate with what humans find meaningful or appealing! but without guidance like in this video it can be hard to fully grasp how all encompassing and important this concept is. what a rabbit hole. i think everything being sort of a "fractal" is another eye opening way to look at it. well im only 7 minutes into the video, time to watch the rest lol

I never knew small-med-large could apply to line work and brush work 😮 I'll definitely use this more now?

YOU GREW UP IN INDONESIA?? WHAT?!

Thank you! This truly is a great piece of knowledge especially for me who is at the beginning of my art journey. It also just dawned on me, your style is similar to Trent Kaniuga's style! I love it!

This video is really awesome, I'll love to see the 5 value breakdown

I really enjoy your instruction, Jourdan, but is there a reason why you have background music playing while you're talking? It's a little distracting and prevents focus on your words.

You are the type of art channel I want to see on YT !!! giving my sub and sharing 💚 hope to see you famous 🙏

Super well explained! Honestly a much better way to explain B/M/S than every other video I've seen, thank you!

Gosh, your art and videos just make me want to draw! You’re genuinely one of my biggest inspirations, thank you for existing!

I seldom teach to my students the "Color Perspective" and the "Lighting Perspective" aside from the large-medium-small in Size obviously... but you added the line stroke, the brush stroke, the materials, the inception ... dude I learned something new! keep it up! btw new subscriber here

Thank you so much! This was so easy to understand because of your visuals and simple explanation. Appreciate you! ✌🤍

Fellow JTuff here, love the video, very helpful with composition. Thanks!

Really interesting to see what effects does each settings at 0-25-50-100% etc.. Maybe a video about showing layer effects could be cool? Often people just say use multiply but they don't show the difference or why it works

Ohh I study art and went to art school and hadn't really studied this concept. That or I could have paid attention more lol still good tool to add to my tool belt 😌 thanks 🙏

I can feel your passion for food while listening!

thank you so much Jourdan this was really amazing and mind opening I knew such thing existed but not to this level thanx to your explanation I see it very clearly now and I will sure try to mess with it one at a time like you said I really appreciate the hard work you put in your videos they really help ❤🙏🙏

I can't even fully express how I grateful for this video. So useful. Thank you very much ❤

I thought this was about how to break up complex shapes into simpler shapes and was a bit disappointed, bc that's something I struggle with. Still a great video, though. I've also heard this be called the 70/20/10 rule, and I agree it's a very versatile game-changer.

Where i can join this challenge?

greet, thx for your information

Thank you so much! You and your content is an underrated gem, and i hope more people find your super educational videos and content as you grow. This has been, like you said, mind blowing

Very grateful for this broadening of perspective. Excellent explanation and content. 🙏🏾

Something worth mentioning is the existence of greater formal flow you feature in the exposed wood / plaster / red roof design around the 15:00 mark. The cone inhabits the world of triangles and spheres The cylinder inhabits both the spherical and rectangular world The pyramid inhabits both the rectangular and triangular world You have a cylinder base flowing into a cone roof, on the main tower while you have a rectangular base flowing into a pyramid-like roof. It seems like organizing the respective simple geometries in this manner and allowing them to complete and stand alone without contrast makes for a fuller, more aesthetic composition. The footbridge, comprised equally of rounded and triangular and rectangular elements is the mastermind of this entire composition, quite literally 'bridging' the two unique formal organizations together. Loved your points about positioning rounded archways in the presence of solid, 90 degree stone bases for added contrast and fall off. Great video!

This 27 mins video helped me so much on my studying pathway! Thank you so much for sharing such valueable and insightful informations.

i think i've left a similar comment before but i'm always struck by how much i get from your videos. 90% of the time when i click on a title promising to rock my world they'll go over some basics i've heard a hundred times but you always manage to present these concepts in a way that genuinely deepens my understanding. often it's a matter of bridging the gap between a basic rule and its application outside of the vacuum of the most obvious demonstration. just really helpful!

Thank you for this! You’re an amazing teacher.

Great stuff, thank you !

Jordan i haven't seen your pufferfish creature before, its amazing! Can you please do another video with different types of exercises where we can practices the 6 groups your mention in the most efficient way?

Dude you are SO UNDERRATED! The world need to recognise your talent

The moment you showed LMS with area of colors just like a heat map was truly eyes opening for me, seeing it with shapes of colors really made me understand the whole concept a lot more. Lot of thanks for that, will use it for my illustrations!! It's like the "Less is more" concept, there is so many times where the theory is simple, but understand it and apply it is way harder

Very helpful, time to implement it into my piece. Thank you❤

Amazing Tips. Thanks!

Isn't it funny to use 3D to make a concept, then in game production, concept is passed down to the 3D team to model?

Tbh I'll watch all your vids it's so interesting man! No one teaches environment like you, it's a fields with complete void within the art youtube game I feel like Everyone is focused on character design, and the few people doing environment are just mostly speedpainting or showing how to draw a rock or a tree, you're more into general principles so everyone can think by themselves, you don't give us fish, you teach how to fish, that's the difference!!

So smaller shapes are your compositional bread crumbs?

So cool thanks for this video !

Fantastic advice and great examples, thanks!

New vid yay! I like Large medium small, everyone talks about it, feels obvious at times but good to remind it because it's so important!! First time I heard about that principle is by Kienan Lafferty With some experience, it kinda becomes a passive skills, feels good to use it 1:50 door and face! Most important features 10:12 fanservice hehe Towards the end of the video, examples are really cool, I always had troubles to decide how to make my shadows, LMS really applies to everything! It adds extra meaning to art now, even the lighting is part of design, it's not just "shading/rendering" it is playful puzzle!! 22:20 yes very overwhelming, tbh I applied it only to some aspects, like detail distribution or scaling of shapes, not everything like in the video 23:30 damn all the trees are the same size!

So many valuable and insightful informations! Thank you so much for taking the time to talk about them and clearly explaining with examples on how to spot them and use them effectively.
